(04-10) 21:11 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Vallejo police officers, including one who fired through the windshield of his own cruiser, shot and killed a man after a car chase that ended in a shopping center parking lot, authorities said.

The incident began when an officer tried to pull over a gold Infiniti SUV at Sonoma Boulevard and Meadows Drive about 3 p.m. Wednesday for having expired registration, police officials said.

The driver fled, leading police on a chase from Highway 37 to Fairgrounds Drive and then to Interstate 80 before exiting at Solano Avenue, authorities said. During the pursuit, the SUV got up to 90 mph and hit at least one emergency call box, police said.

The driver, later identified as Ever Ramon Martinez, 29, of Alameda County ended up in a shopping center parking lot on Solano just west of I-80 and began to ram patrol cars, police Lt. Sid DeJesus said.

The SUV and one of the patrol cars became locked, and Martinez tried to free his SUV by spinning around, nearly hitting a family in a car, DeJesus said. He said two officers opened fire, including one who shot through his patrol car windshield.
